Servicing

Washing machine maintenance

Most washing machine breakdowns start small: a clogged filter, a perished hose or a worn belt. A service catches them early.

  • Clean the drain pump filter
  • Clean the inlet hose filters
  • Check hoses for bulges and cracks
  • Clean the door seal and detergent drawer
  • Check the belt, brushes and drum bearings
  • Level the machine and check it is stable

How often: Every 6 months, or every 3 months if you wash daily or use borehole water.

Before you call: quick checks

  1. Make sure the tap is fully open and the hose is not kinked.

  2. Check the door is properly shut. Most machines will not start otherwise.

  3. If it stopped full of water, switch it off at the wall before opening the pump filter.

  4. Write down any code on the display. It tells us which part to bring.

What do the error codes mean?

Codes differ by brand. On Samsung, 4C or 4E usually means a water supply problem and 5C or 5E a drain problem. On LG, IE is water inlet and OE is drain. Send the code with your booking and we will tell you what it points to.

Do you repair twin-tub machines?

Yes. Twin-tubs from Mika, Armco, Ramtons and others are common in Kenya, and their belts, timers and motors are straightforward to repair.

My machine is still full of water. What should I do?

Switch it off at the wall and leave the door closed. We drain it safely before we start.

How long does a repair take?

Most repairs take one to two hours on site. Bearings and motors take longer, and some parts have to be ordered.
